People Who Live With Handgun Owners At Greater Risk Of Dying By Homicide, Study Suggests

The AP (4/4, Stobbe) reports a study “suggests people who live with handgun owners are shot to death at a higher rate than those who don’t have such weapons at home.” Also, “the researchers found that those who lived with handgun owners had a much higher rate of being fatally shot by a spouse or intimate partner,” as “the vast majority of such victims – 84% – were women, they said.” The findings of the “study focused on nearly 600,000 Californians” were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
